Is the technology industry eating the publications that cover it alive? Barring a last moment reprieve, Business 2.0 magazine's September issue could be its last, a source familiar with the matter said in response to a report in the Tuesday edition of The New York Times....
But while Business 2.0's backer's got it right when they bet on a tech resurgence, they apparently didn't count on the traditional advertising business becoming one of the new boom's first victims.

It seems to have been a while, but there's an new interesting interview with Linus Torvalds. Covering important topics like what he thinks about gpl v3, Microsoft in general and the niches of linux. He considers the desktop to be the best place for developement since it has varied and complex usages, compared to servers and embedded devices.
But is Linus still doing it 'just for fun'? His words: "Yes. Its still why I do it. The parts I do that end up beign fun have been different over the years — it used to be purely about the coding, these days I dont write all that much code myself, and now its mostly about the organizational side: merging code, communicating with people, pointing people in the right direction, and then the occasional bugfixing myself."
